Deploy a signed J2me midlet on a real phone

[ying lam]

Can someone help me sign and deploy a midlet on a real phone.

I already purchase a code signing certificate from CA, following the steps to sign my midlet. But when i deploy it on a phone, I got a Security Exception.

I appreciate if anyone can help.

About your question: What tool did you use to sign the MIDlet? What is the process? Did it work on emulators?

I am using the ktoolbar of WTK 2.1 to sign my midlet.
I also have tried using the Nokia j2me tool kit 2.0. But it does not work either.

But I build my jar/jad using ANT instead of ktoolbar/Nokiai j2me tool kit.
Does that make a difference?

Thank you.

Hi,

I believe that if you are signing the MIDlet from the WTK and installing on the device then it will not work. The keys generated by the WTK are only for testing on the emulator.

To deploy a signed MIDlet on the device you need the key generated by some one like Versign or Thawte.

Iam in the same stage right now so please feel free to correct me if iam wrong.

Can anyone provide me some info on the process that is involved in getting a certificate. I have finished testing my MIDlet suite ( in the untrusted domain)... My midlet accesses the VideoControl.getSnapShot() method and its very annoying to have a popup every time.

Iam looking at how to get my MIDlet signed but if anyone could send me a few pointers .. it would be very helpful

Thanks
